The handbook should be given at registration and is a wealth of information for those who read it and need it. It should outline the policy as well as course of action and how to deal with such actions. One example is tardiness. Each infraction is a in school detention. After 2 it is a saturday detention, after 5 it is suspension etc. Assualt, battery and sexual harrassment are also outlined. Start to document and follow the rules and guidelines straight to the school board. Those elected officals who hire the principal. They too need to be made aware so that they may act on your behalf, (or just to cover their butts) and interview the principal to find out why he did not handle it as it needed. Always call the police and report a battery. Let's call it what it is, and it is a crime. Parents may not be concerned except when you are sueing them in a civil action for not parenting. Depending on the age you could also sue the bully himeslf wjith his parents. I bet that boys will be boys attitude will change real quick.
